Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the peanut butter is evenly distributed.
- Scoop Bites: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, spacing them slightly apart to prevent sticking.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the bites are firm and frozen solid. This step is crucial to achieve the perfect bite-sized frozen texture.
- Enjoy and Store: Once frozen, transfer the bites to a sealed container and keep them in the freezer. Enjoy directly from the freezer as a protein-rich, refreshing snack anytime.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and a richer flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup according to taste preference.
- Customize bites by mixing in ingredients like chocolate chips, chia seeds, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
